Most buildings are built where the steel is on the inside around the elevator shaft. This one was built from the outside, which is the strongest structure you can have, and it [came down] almost just like a can of soup.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The above once again suggests how we in fact live in the United States of Amnesia, as Michael Eric Dyson once put it, largely because of our deceptive media and educational institutions airbrushing history for the Inner Party, much as in Orwell\u2019s <em>1984<\/em> or Soviet Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, as Russ Winter (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newnationalist.net\/2016\/09\/14\/donald-trump-states-only-explosives-could-have-brought-down-towers\/\">whose post\u00a0<\/a>on the interview brought this to my attention) observes,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Donald Trump essentially gave the Architects and Engineers for 9\/11 Truth version of the World Trade Center towers free fall \u2026\u00a0Trump called the towers \u201cvery strong structures\u201d and stated only powerful explosives could have taken them down.
